You're a braver / more determined man than I am, a little rain chases me out of the junkyards.

If I'm already stripping a 240 and starts to pour down, I just keep going. At least there isn't anyone to bother me when it's raining. I'm always ready with a rain coat/pants. When it gets cold I put on some thermals and I'm good to go.

If anyone of you want a 8.8 in your volvo. Let me know I have a jig for welding the mounts. I can source axles no problem. It isn't going to be dirt cheap. But I have the tooling and time for the next month to do it. Pm for deets

Search of 1 yard that's open on Sundays only turned up 3.73lsd 8.8, there was a Toyota pickup with their 7.5" diff, there was also a 4runner with I think a 4.56 4 shaft that I looked real hard at until I went back and read Vinny's write up again. I'm going to try the other yard possibly today but I may be stuck with the 3.73.

Other pick and pull had what I wanted, swapped the extra short axle in the housing out the door for $177 including tax and $10 core charge that I'll get back if I bring old brokey in. D2 4.10 trac-lock. I gave up on the yoke, I'll either order one in or go back for it, I did get an extra rh brake hose. 165k on the axle, should I replace the guts of the lsd? That thing is ridiculously heavy in a wheelbarrow with 65lbs. of tools, the tire was rubbing on the wheelbarrow body.
